About

Welcome to Code On Point—the podcast where tech meets terrain, and a little sass never hurts.

Hosted by Mara Stoica and Tim Purdum, Code On Point dives into the world of GIS and software development with a focus on the real stories behind the code. Mara is the CEO of dymaptic, a software consultancy known for its geospatial expertise, and Tim is the creator of GeoBlazor, the .NET wrapper for Esri’s JavaScript API that’s changing how developers build map-based apps.

Each episode, we explore topics that matter to coders, mappers, and everyone in between—think frameworks, best practices, occasional rants about broken SDKs, and interviews with the people shaping the future of spatial tech. From deciding when to build your own tools versus customizing something off-the-shelf, to evaluating the tradeoffs of different tech stacks, we get into the kinds of discussions that GIS professionals and developers are actually having.

Whether you’re here for the technical deep dives or just to hear how developers really talk when the documentation tabs are closed, you’ll feel right at home.

If you’ve ever debugged a map that worked yesterday but not today—or had a passionate debate about whether something should be done just because it can—this podcast is for you.
